We understand that patients are drawn to academic medicine for treatment they could not otherwise obtain elsewhere in the community, and as such, we are committed to doing things better, more efficiently, and with more compassion. Our emphasis on individualized care and personalized medicine is what truly sets UCI Radiation Oncology apart. When it comes to cancer care, we recognize that nobody wants to be just another number. To the contrary, we harbor pride in not just treating your disease, but as importantly, taking care of the whole you. Our Commitment to Patients We understand that a new diagnosis of cancer leads to anxiety, fear, and sometimes even hopelessness. At UCI Radiation Oncology, we look forward to partnering with you and fighting on your behalf in the battle against cancer. We do everything possible to avoid a generic, ‘one size fits all approach to cancer.’ Our commitment to you is to respect your individuality, to recognize what makes each patient unique and special, and to personalize care to the utmost.
